I don't buy the argument that he will be an even better athlete or less injury prone if he was at 265. 285 seems to be the proper weight for him.
At his size, the injuries he needs to be worried about are foot and knee injuries. The more weight you carry, the more force that's exerted on those areas. Ask Yao Ming.
There's no doubt that losing about 20 lbs would reduce his risk of injury significantly.
Also, when you're losing a pound, you're not just losing a pound. You're reducing the amount of energy you need to move your body. If you are already pretty strong and you lose mostly fat, losing a relatively small amount of weight can greatly improve performance. At his size, there's really no downside to losing about 20 lbs.

Yao Ming had undersized feet he wore an 18 by comparison Shaq wore a 23. Idk what Zion's shoe size is but that would be my main concern. Are his feet too small?

You all worried about his weight when he can't even hit a jump shot.

Serious question. What would you have wanted the Pelicans to do with the pick?

I think he could manage well at 275ish with his frame. I don’t think he’s 6’6-6’7, looks like a legit 6’8 maybe slightly taller.
They’ll have him with trainers and a nutritionist. He will definitely be in shape

Ultimately, I think the general 265-285 window is where he needs to maintain.I think his natural weight runs toward to higher end so if he aims low 270s on average he will stay in the right window. If he tries too carry 285 I think to quick/easy he will find himself at 3 and that’s trouble
I won’t pretend 268 vs 272 vs 276 dramatically changes his career arc. Just being in the fit side of 285 is my key

He’s going to be such a bust, not Anthony Bennett level but close.

Not give into the inflated hype and draft Morant who is a much better player. I’ll take him in Memphis though.

I’m just amazed that people are debating two pound of fat versus two pounds of muscle and the difference between 268 and 272 as a result of an off the cuff comment from Seth Greenberg, a guy who hasn’t looked at a box score since he was fired from Va Tech, much less looked at a spreadsheet of NBA combine weights, heights, and body fat ratios.
If Seth could tell us what Synergy is, what city Zion is from, or even what team Zion got injured against last year, I would need reconstructive jaw surgery. Seth mails it in more than post-Netflix contract Adam Sandler. He has absolutely no fricking inside information on anything.
